Change sender name and email address for specific WooCommerce email notifications

The sender name and email address are set here (at the end of Woocommerce “Emails” setting tab:

enter image description here

This fields are passed through dedicated filters hook that allow you to change conditionally the values.

Here is an example conditionally restricted to “customer processing email notification”:

// Change sender name
add_filter( 'woocommerce_email_from_name', function( $from_name, $wc_email ){
    if( $wc_email->id == 'customer_processing_order' ) 
        $from_name="Jack the Ripper";

    return $from_name;
}, 10, 2 );

// Change sender adress
add_filter( 'woocommerce_email_from_address', function( $from_email, $wc_email ){
    if( $wc_email->id == 'customer_processing_order' )
        $from_email="[email protected]";

    return $from_email;
}, 10, 2 );

Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or theme) or also in any plugin file.

This code is tested and works.

Some other WC_Email Ids that you can use in your condition:
'customer_completed_order'
'customer_on_hold_order'
'customer_refunded_order'
'customer_new_account'
'new_order' ( admin notification )
'cancelled_order' ( admin notification )
'failed_order' ( admin notification )
